This brochure is advertising the amenities of the Hilltop Manor in Topeka, Kansas. The facility was located west of Sixth Avenue in Topeka, Kansas, and was owned and operated by the fraternal organization of the Security Benefit Association. The 400-acre grounds consisted of a hospital, retirement home, children's home, a greenhouse and a hotel for visiting friends and relatives. In the 1950s the cooperative farm was abandoned when the company ceased to be a fraternal organization and became primarily a life insurance company know as Security Benefit Life. The land was later sold to the Menninger Foundation.
